Third storm in series drops 4 to 6 inches of snow on San Juan County Mike Easterling, Farmington Daily Times
FARMINGTON The last storm in a series of three disturbances that moved through the Four Corners area over the past several days packed the biggest wallop, dumping 4 to 6 inches of snow in locations across San Juan County overnight.
Most residents of the county headed to bed on Feb. 15 having seen only a dusting or an inch or so of snow from the first two storm systems, which began on Feb. 12. But by the time they woke up on Feb. 16, things had changed considerably.

WASHINGTON â Seventeen Michigan school districts received grants from No Kid Hungry as part of the organizationâs goal to ensure the stateâs children remain nourished and healthy, according to a news release Wednesday.
The grants were made in partnership with the Michigan Department of Education.
âSchool meals are available to students across Michigan no matter if they are learning remotely or participating in a hybrid model,â said Allison Dela Cuesta, field manager for the No Kid Hungry campaign. âThese grants will help ensure students in Michigan continue to get the nutrition they need to learn during this difficult time.â
Snowfall totals from the Jan. 19 storm varied widely across San Juan County.
Before this storm, the Four Corners Regional Airport had seen only a half inch of accumulated snow this season.
FARMINGTON San Juan County and much of the rest of the northern half of New Mexico saw its first significant precipitation in more than a month on Jan. 19, as a snowstorm that began in the early-morning hours lingered into the late afternoon before dissipating.
But the good news for the drought-stricken area is that more moisture could be on the way.
Sharon Sullivan, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, said the Jan. 19 storm that left San Juan County under a winter weather advisory for much of that day was expected to head east before backtracking later in the week. That could mean additional precipitation for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, according to the NWS forecast.

KEEGO HARBOR According to Keego Harbor resident David Emerling, there was a “huge amount of uproar” when people learned that the West Bloomfield School District was considering closing Roosevelt Elementary School, which at over 100 years old is the longest continuously operating school building in Oakland County.
The district may opt to go from its current five elementary school configuration to four, with either Roosevelt, which is located in Keego Harbor, or Scotch Elementary School in West Bloomfield being the most likely to close.
